Chapter 848: Birthday Congratulations (I)
What is the current Capital Sect most concerned about? Without him, it is the auction set by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in November.
Prince Jane's Mansion, Inner Hall.
Yongjia had already sent two groups of relatives who came to the door to post, and he was a little impatient and sat by the kang to think.
Prince Jane's Mansion is the majority shareholder of the Bank of the Interior, and there are five posts on his side, in addition to his own, two more than other shareholders.
Yarjianga didn't take these to heart, and couldn't stand the verbosity of others, so he gave Yongjia five posts from his relatives and let him dispose of them.
The capital is not happy, but the news spreads the fastest.
Even the relatives of the palace have also got the news and know that there are good objects to buy and auction at the Bank of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Side Fujin Ilgen Jue Luo has been talking in front of Yongjia, she is an old man in the house, Yongjia gave her dignity, so he gave her a copy of it.
Fujin on the side of the house, in addition to Ilgen Jue Luo, there is also Nemin. Her mother's family is the mother of Yarjana, and this post has to be given as well.
Earlier, for the sake of secrecy, she never got a name. Later, because Yang Zimo was the only favor, Yaerjiang couldn't care about the palace, and he didn't think of asking for a seal for this cousin.
Later, Yang Zimo passed away, and caught up with the Queen Mother, the country's filial piety, and the family was delayed for another year.
waited until the filial piety, and the third elder brother of the prince's concubine went out on the expedition, and it was not until the beginning of this year that the seal of Fujin on this side came down.
Since the two side Fujin mothers sent it, Yongjia made up the orthopedic and put away a post to send it to her mother's family.
However, it also made people instruct Yongsheng two sentences, most of the people involved are clan relatives, and do not compete with others.
The remaining two, in the end, are better for whom, but it is difficult.
There are several side branches of Prince Jian's mansion to beg, which family should this give it to, which family should not give it to, Yongjia has to ask Yaerjiang A'na for ideas. Otherwise, if you offend someone, you have to complain.
Yongjia was bothered, and he heard the sound of chirping laughter outside the door.
"E-niang......" With the sweet voice, a little girl came in, followed by two mothers-in-law, each holding a girl in her arms, but three or four years old.
After entering the house, the two girls got off the ground and followed the little girl in front of them to say goodbye to Yongjia.
"Naughty, it's windy outside, and it's tormenting your two sisters." Yongjia glanced at the little girl and said angrily.
This little girl, who has been born by her six Gege Zhen'er, is seven years old this year, and she naughtily stretched out her tongue and said, "Eniang, this is not to blame Zhen'er." These two monkeys are sticky to their foreheads, and if they don't see each other for a long time, they will have a headache. ”
These two girls are the seven grids that Ruyi came out of, and the eight grids that Yang "came out".
After Yang Zimo died, they were all taken back to the palace. Although the two little Gege's biological mothers died, Qigege's biological mother was just a concubine, and Bagege's "biological mother" was the tip of the prince's heart.
Ilgen Jue Luo and Ne Min both mentioned with Yarjiang that they wanted to raise Bagege, but Yongjia did not object, she was too lazy to bother, and she was raised in the palace left and right. Yarjiang'a didn't let go, and Bagege was still in Yongjia's courtyard in the end.
At the beginning, Ilgen felt that the Luo clan and the others were still waiting to see the excitement, thinking about the prince's love for the house and Wu, and they would fall out of favor if they couldn't say that they would fall out of favor if they didn't have six grids. At that time, will this wood-like Fujin still be able to accommodate eight grids?
Unexpectedly, the prince was just mediocre to Bagege, let Fujin take care of it, and didn't ask a word, let alone go over Liugege.
Yongjia hugged the two small ones to the kang, the seven grids were fine, and he just smiled with his fingers while holding the rules; Bagege said that he was three years old, but in fact, he was two years old, and he ran into Yongjia's arms, hugged Yongjia's neck and did not let go, and read in his mouth: "Eniang......"
Watching her tears roll, her little face was pitiful, I didn't know how to see it, and I thought I hadn't seen Yongjia for a long time.
In fact, the two sisters had breakfast in the upper room, and because of Yongjia's visitor, someone carried them down.
Qigege saw it on the side, and he didn't eat it, covered his mouth and smiled: "Look at this skin, isn't it a monkey?" ”
Yongjia looked at the children in front of him, groping for the eight-grid revised draft, and the days were not so difficult......
Cao Mansion, living room.
Because it is about to be Li's birthday, people who have come to Cao's mansion to give gifts have come to the door one after another. If it is another family, the head of the family dies of illness, the children are young, few people have to go to the tea to cool down, and many relatives and friends are old and slack.
The Cao family is different, a few years before Cao Yin's death, he handed over all the affairs of the family to his son, not to mention, Cao Hao, the new head of the family, is a Heshuo forehead, which is more noble than Cao Yin's squire.
Therefore, even if the Cao family did not have a birthday banquet due to filial piety, the birthday gifts of these mansions were not exempted.
In the past few days, Cao Hao has to go to the living room several times a day to accompany guests and send them off.
After drinking half a cup of tea with him and asking someone to send off the guests, Cao Hao saw Cao Yuan coming back from outside.
He was ordered by Cao Hao to go to Fu Nai's house to deliver an invitation to the auction of the Bank of the Internal Affairs Department.
"Have you seen my aunt?" Cao Hao asked.
"See, my aunt said that Uncle Lao was worried, and I heard that I wanted to join in the fun. He also said that the shou wu and ginseng table sent by the uncle were very good for the young master. There is nothing in ginseng, but a good Shou Wu is hard to find, if the uncle still has it, please ask the uncle to cut his love. Cao Yuan leaned over and replied.
Cao Hao listened to it and couldn't help but wonder.
This uncle, after more contact, found out that he is an interesting person. Only he would not have made so many detours and bends to be able to say these things so bluntly.
Changling transferred from martial arts to literature and wanted to take the imperial examination, but he didn't expect to participate in the two examinations and landed.
But he was unwilling, studied hard behind closed doors, prepared for the next department, worked hard, lacked energy, and often fell ill.
At the beginning of the month, Changling was sick again, and Cao Hao went to visit him, and saw that he was born early and had insufficient energy, which was due to excessive use of his brain. When I came back, I sent some shou wu and ginseng.
"I remember that I still have a few pieces at home, so you can ask your grandmother to see if there is any other use. If not, send it to my aunt. Cao Hao commanded.
Cao Yuan responded, and there were small servants who came to report the famous post, and there were guests who gave gifts.
Cao Hao flipped through the post and read it, and he was not allowed to accompany him, so he handed it to Cao Yuan to arrange and went to the inner courtyard by himself.
Passing by the Orchid Courtyard, Cao Hao took out his pocket watch and looked at it, it was the time for his mother to take a nap in the afternoon, so he didn't go over, and went back to Wutong Garden directly.
When I entered the courtyard, I heard the chatter in the room, which was very lively. When he entered the house, he saw that the room was full of children.
Niuniu sat in the kang with the fourth sister, the fifth sister, and the little girls Tianhui, Tianyou, Hengsheng, and the left sat on the ground, and Changsheng was rooted next to Chu Yu and sat on the edge of the kang, listening to everyone talking.
Seeing Cao Hao enter the house, everyone got up.
For a time, the titles of "father", "father-in-law", "eldest brother", "elder brother" and so on were chaotic.
"No classes in the afternoon? Why are they all in the house? Cao Hao nodded at the children, sat down at the kang table, and looked at Tianyoudao.
Tianyou said: "Back to my father's words, it was cloudy and windy today, and Master Ren gave the children a vacation." ”
Cao Hao looked at Niuniu again, Niuniu pursed her lips and smiled: "Mama Liu said that she was suspicious of the case of the cloudy house, and she embroidered and boiled her eyes, so she will rest for half a day today." Just when I saw Tianyou and them coming back, he pulled the fourth sister and the fifth sister over. ”
The fourth sister and the fifth son come over every afternoon to learn from Mama Liu with Niuniu.
Seeing the children's smiling appearance, Cao Hao's mood also improved by three points, and asked Chu Yu: "What is the fuss, what did you say just now?" ”
Chu Yu replied: "The children are filial piety, and they are thinking about preparing a birthday gift for their wife." ”
When Cao Hao heard this, his heart was also happy.
Filial piety comes first, and all evils and fornications come first.
Children are filial, of course, and it is very good.
However, this room full of children, the eldest is the fourth sister, who is only ten years old this year, and the youngest Changsheng is only five years old, what birthday gift can be prepared?
Cao Hao was a little curious in his heart and asked, "Oh, what are you going to prepare?" ”
Chu Yu said with a smile: "There are several serious things, and they all need to be written and listed." There are longevity peaches, there are longevity words, and hand stove sets or something, the children said, to make up ten things to live on the birthday, just one of them is the same, and finally send the same, and I wish the wife a perfect fit. ”
If nothing else, just a widow, where can it be called "perfect".
But in the end, it is the children's mind, no one will pick anything else, Cao Hao nodded, and said: "It's hard for them to have a heart, but there are three days left, so you have to hurry." ”
Chu Yu said: "There is not much to discuss, except for the work of the two younger sisters, the others are not far from each other for three days." ”
With Cao Hao here, in the end, he was restrained, and said a few words, Niuniu took the fourth sister and the fifth child to the Banyan Courtyard to work, and Tianyou took Hengsheng and them back to the Kwai Courtyard, except for Cao Hao and his wife in the house, only Tianhui and Changsheng were left.
Cao Hao glanced at Changsheng and asked, "Have you taken the medicine today?" Still coughing or not? ”
"I've taken the medicine, and I'm still coughing." Changsheng even replied obediently.
This is the sequelae left by the cold a few days ago, Cao Hao remembered a home remedy mentioned by Wei Hei, and said to Chu Yu: "By the way, Brother Wei mentioned a cough prescription a few days ago, and used cabbage sweat to drink sugar water. Since they Yaohui entered autumn, they have also coughed badly, and they have used this recipe well. ”
When Chu Yu heard this, he said happily: "Yes, that's just right." The cough has not stopped during the Long March, and although the doctor said that he was fine, the wife was uncomfortable when she heard it. Fortunately, it has been moved in our yard for a few days, so that my wife can rest for a few days. I'll command someone to ......," he said, and went to the kitchen to command.
Changsheng is the same age as Wei Yaohui, and the children in this mansion are the two of them who don't go to school, they always play together, and they have a very good relationship.
Hearing his little friend's name, Changsheng's eyes lit up, he looked up at his brother, and said in a sagged voice: "Big brother, look for San Lang to play ......" The northwest wind was blowing outside the window, and it was very cold, how dare Cao Hao take his younger brother out for a walk.
"It's going to snow, it's cold outside, wait for tomorrow to be clear, let's go find San Lang again." Cao Hao said.
Although the whole mansion loves Changsheng, his temper follows the Li family, and he is not pampered and has an excellent temper. Hearing that his brother didn't take him out to play, he was not annoyed, and responded crisply: "Okay, then Ming'er will go." ”
Tianhui sat on the kang, already looking like a little lady, looking at the little uncle with crooked eyes. Look at that, if it weren't for Changsheng being her uncle, she would have to show contempt on her face, and her eyes seemed to say that the children's family only knows how to play.
Changsheng also seemed to see that he was being looked down upon by his niece, his face was red, he was a little embarrassed to see people, he reflexively threw himself into Chu Yu's arms, and muttered: "Sister-in-law, find San Lang to recite the "Three Character Classic" together...... It's not just ......."
Seeing this, Tianhui shook his head like a little adult, obviously not believing his words. Cao Hao saw her daughter's naughty appearance, but she had a little bit of Cao Hao's soul when she was a child, flicked her little head, and said, "Don't bully your little uncle." ”
Tianhui smiled and wrinkled her nose, "Who bullied him?" It's Uncle Seven who is too squeamish. ”
When Changsheng heard this, he became more and more like an ostrich, and he didn't dare to raise his head. It was Chu Yu who glared at Tianhui before she closed her mouth and stopped laughing.
It's strange to say, most of the children in Manchu are close to Chu Yu and afraid of Cao Hao; Tianhui is the opposite, afraid of Chu Yu, not afraid of Cao Hao.
In the blink of an eye, it was October 30, and it was Lee's forty-ninth birthday.
Because of filial piety, there were no foreign guests, only people from the east and west, several aunts and grandmothers of the Cao family, and the Li family and his son came to celebrate their birthdays.
It's all their own flesh and blood, there are no outsiders, but there are no false courtesies, Li is wrong but really happy.
Then there were attendants who came to deliver the decree, and there were birthday gifts from concubines.
Ten pieces of palace satin with longevity pattern, hosta with blessing pattern in pairs, four jade ornaments inlaid with various colored gemstones, and a handle of agarwood ruyi. There are also all kinds of fur particles, which are also excellent coat colors.
There are not many things, but everything is fine. Not to mention anything else, it is four ornaments, but it is an internal thing, jade leaves, various colored gems inlaid into flowers, looking gorgeous.
Such an ornament on the outside, not to mention the inside, is imitation, and one piece is worth hundreds of taels of silver. Like this, it is dedicated to the noble lord in the palace to enjoy the gemstone flower pot, and there is no market outside.
Others are okay, but Li Nai's father and son are a little comfortable in their hearts.
Speaking of which, Wang Concubine Niangniang and the Li family's cousin are Yuan, so it can catch up with the close relationship between Wang Concubine and the Li family. Li Fuwen and Gao are still the elders of the concubines, and the birthday gifts they get are not as good as those of the Li family.
Is it just because the Li family is in the capital and takes good care of each other? Or is it because the Cao family is more powerful than the Li family, and the princess is willing to use the Cao family as foreign aid?
Li Nai remembered the scene when he asked to see the sixteenth elder brother, and the reason why he stayed in the capital after making up the vacancy was hopeless, he also had the idea of counting on this cousin.
Even if there is a difference between respect and inferiority, the concubine was sent by the Li family, and the mother of the concubine was sent to the end of the Li family, and the Li family was not without kindness to the mother and son of the concubine.
Unexpectedly, the sixteenth elder brother was indifferent, and he didn't even say "cousin", he just dealt with two sentences casually, and without waiting for Li Nai's words to plead, he sent someone to see off the guests.
Because of this, Li Nai only felt cold, and he didn't like to stay in Beijing anymore, and finally made up his mind to go back to Suzhou.
Li didn't think much about it, since she hit her into the eyes of the queen mother, every year after her birthday, there will be rewards in the palace, which has become a rule.
In the past few years, the Li family has gone from being afraid back then to being calm now.
The return journey for the Li family has been decided, and he will leave Beijing and return to Suzhou on the 15th of next month.
When the people heard this, they knew that he was not going well in filling the gap, and they had to say a few words of exhortation.
Li Nai listened to his son's chatter a lot of times, and he also complained about Cao Hao in his heart. If Cao Hao hadn't stood idly by, his brother-in-law wouldn't have taken care of it, and he wouldn't have made up for it.
Cao Hao is so cold, is he so temperamental, or does he not wait to see Sun and Li's relatives? Li Nai took the wine cup, hurriedly lowered his head, concealed his gaffe, and thought about it in his heart.
Others didn't notice it, only Cao Hao happened to sit opposite Li Nai, and when he saw his eyes flickering, he couldn't pay more attention, and just happened to see his resentful gaze......
